>one (1) bat flu pandemic with 1-3% death rate causes every healthcare system in the world to go to verge of collapse

Why does this happen? Why are they not prepared for this kind of thing? Why are hospitals not built to sustain viral pandemics, considering they have been common for most of human history?

being prepared would have cost $1 bn / year

The same reason your car doesn’t have 50 seats, or the bus have 200 seats, or the supermarket doesn’t hold 10 times what they sell, or the school doesn’t have an extra 500 empty seats, or the movie theater doesn’t have 600 seats incase one popular movie sells out, and why mcdonalds doesn’t have 10 drive thru lanes

They didn't listen when in 2013 literally every expert on the topic warned politicians that wrre not prepared. They continued not listening when Bill Gates warned us 2014.
It's always more important to maintain exponential economical growth over anything else.

Trump disbanded the CDC's pandemic response unit and bragged about it.

In most western cunts, they have been systematically scaled back preparedness since the fall of the Soviet Union.

Privatized healthcare (reduction of costs vs. actual quality infrastructure and attention) and the fact that the Western liberal state can't do jack shit since it's an apparatus of the rich to impose their policy over workers. Ask yourself why Wuhan/China could contain the virus successfully while Europe is still struggling. (inb4 fake numbers — I doubt it would be that easy to fake when even the Chinese are connected to the rest of the world through a few clicks, and even if they were faked they wouldn't be too far away from the actual rates.)

Surely if the system is built in such a way that a pandemic (a very common occurence throughout history) can collapse it within a matter of months, then the system is not a good one?

hard to be prepared for something we don't understand. Seems liek the biggest fuckup is not enough m95 masks. enough of them and making it mandatory to wear 24/7 when not eating or showering etc shoudlve done the trick for containment, and given us enough tiem to understand and come up with a long term approach

Consider how many congressmen are epidemiologists or medical doctors or scientists. They are all scientifically and technologically illiterate and no one realizes that pandemics/epidemics are far more of a threat than any conventional war today.
